Definitions

  • This invention relates to 1,4-diamino 2,3-dihydroxybutanes, a process to prepare these compounds, compositions comprising such compounds and a method of treating viral infection.
  • Proteases are enzymes which cleave proteins at specific peptide bonds. Many biological functions are controlled or mediated by proteases and their complementary protease inhibitors. For example, the protease renin cleaves the peptide angiotensinogen to produce the peptide angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is further cleaved by the protease angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to form the hypotensive peptide angiotensin II. Inhibitors of renin and ACE are known to reduce high blood pressure in vivo . However, no therapeutically useful renin protease inhibitors have been developed, due to problems of oral availability and in vivo stability.
  • retroviruses encode a protease that is responsible for the proteolytic processing of one or more polyprotein precursors such as the pol and gag gene products. See Wellink, Arch . Virol . 98 1 (1988). Retroviral proteases most commonly process the gag precursor into the core proteins, and also process the pol precursor into reverse transcriptase and retroviral protease.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,652,552 discloses methyl ketone derivatives of tetrapeptides as inhibitors of viral proteases.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,644,055 discloses halomethyl derivatives of peptides as inhibitors of viral proteases.
  • European Patent Application No. WO 87/07836 discloses L-glutamic acid gamma-monohydroxamate as an antiviral agent.
  • the ability to inhibit a protease provides a method for blocking viral replication and therefore a treatment for diseases, and AIDS in particular, that may have fewer side effects when compared to current treatments.
  • the topic of this patent application is 1,4-dimino-2,3-dihydroxybutanes and the development of processes for the preparation of these diols which compounds are capable of inhibiting viral protease and which compounds are believed to serve as a means of combating viral diseases such as AIDS.
  • the diols of this invention provide significant improvements over protease inhibitors that are known in the art. A large number of compounds have been reported to be renin inhibitors, but have suffered from lack of adequate bio-availability and are thus not useful as therapeutic agents.
  • renin inhibitors do not inhibit HIV protease.
  • the structure-activity requirements of renin inhibitors differ from those of HIV protease inhibitors.
  • the diols of the invention are particularly useful as HIV protease inhibitors.
  • HIV protease inhibitors have been reported, but to date very few have shown activity against viral replication in human cells. This lack of cellular activity is probably due to the factors discussed above for renin inhibitors. Unlike other HIV protease inhibitors, diols disclosed herein show potent inhibition of viral replication in human cells.
  • diols disclosed herein are symmetrical.
  • the symmetrical diols may offer improved binding potency to the HIV protease enzyme relative to dissymmetric counterparts, and are more readily prepared from inexpensive starting materials.
  • the 1,2-diol unit is one of the most ubiquitous functional groups in nature, and consequently a wealth of methods leading to its synthesis have been developed. Foremost in this arsenal are the catalytic osmylation of olefins (Behrens and Sharpless, J . Org . Chem ., (1985), 50 , 5696), ring opening of epoxides (Wai et al ., J . Am . Chem . Soc . (1989), 111 , 1123), reduction or alkylation of a-hydroxy/alkoxy carbonyls (Davis et al ., J . Org . Chem ., (1989), 54 , 2021).
  • pinacol coupling is conceptually one of the simplest methods for the synthesis of 1,2-diols. Consequently, a number of methods have been developed which utilize this reaction for the preparation of these compounds.
  • McMurry et al report the preparation of a 1,2-diol by pinacol coupling of a dialdehyde in the presence of TiCl3(dimethoxyethane)2Zn-Cu in dimethoxyethane (McMurry et al ., Tetrahedron Lett ., (1988), 30 , 1173).

  • This method utilizes a catalyst which contains vanadium(II); however, other low valent metals (such as titanium and samarium) and pinacol reagents (such as magnesium) can also be used with advantage. It is based on a process disclosed by Pederson et al . for the preparation of diols. Freudenberger, J. H.; Konradi, A. W.; Pedersen, S. F., J . Am . Chem . Soc . 1989 , 111 , 8014; and Konradi, A.

  • Another aspect of the present invention is an improvement of the process disclosed by Pederson et al . for the preparation of 1,4-diamino-2,3-diols.
  • the improvement results in a process which is easier to operate than that of Pederson et al ., affords reagents of higher quality and reliability than those of the method of Pederson et al ., and results in a higher yield of product than that obtained by Pederson et al .
  • the catalyst is prepared by placing VCl3(THF)3 in a dry, oxygen-free flask. Zinc-copper couple is then added and the two solids are stirred vigorously. An organic solvent is then added and the mixture is stirred for about 10 minutes, resulting in a deep green solution and black suspension. Next, a solution of the aldehyde in the same solvent as that used for the catalyst, is added to the catalyst over 2-3 minutes. The progress of the reaction is monitored by Thin Layer Chromatography (silica gel with 50% hexane/ethyl acetate as eluent) until it is determined that the reaction is over. The reaction mixture is then subjected to an aqueous work-up and, if necessary, the product obtained is further purified.
  • the zinc-copper couple utilized in the improved process is prepared following a known procedure, except that filtration with schlenkware was used instead of decanting solvent.
  • L. Fieser and M. Fieser Reagents for Organic Synthesis , Volume I, pp. 1292-1293, Wiley,New York, 1967.
  • the use of a glovebag or drybox instead of schlenkware would be equally satisfactory.
  • the solvents used for the preparation of this reagent are sparged with argon for about 30 minutes before use.
  • the zinc-copper couple obtained is in the form of a free-flowing black powder with a few clumps.
  • the zinc-copper couple prepared in this way is superior to commercially obtained or activated zinc dust. This material reduced V(III) to V(II) in dichloromethane within 10 minutes, whereas the use of commercial zinc dust or activated zinc required several hours and frequently did not provide the color change, described above, which is characteristic of complete reduction.

When exposed to even small amounts of air, the reduced material rapidly oxidizes to a deep wine-red. If this happens, discard the reaction and start over. If the characteristic deep green color-- best seen by holding a white sheet of paper behind the flask and looking at the gas-solvent interface-- does not appear within 10-30 minutes, it is best to discard the reaction and re-prepare the reagents.
